She also took the time to chat with the audience about her experience writing and touring the book and to share some of her endless wisdom and wry humor. She also has a legendary Twitter account that features tweets like: “Why do men speak to me,” and “Fat free yogurt is disgusting, an abomination, and I am banning myself from eating it ever again.” On Monday, February 12th, she paid a visit to the Hammer Museum to read excerpts from her latest book, “Hunger,” despite revealing during the reading that she personally hates being read to. She is the brilliant, unapologetic author of “ Bad Feminist ,” “ An Untamed State ,” and “ Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body ,” books that cover themes like gender, race, fatness, sexuality, pop culture, and politics.
